These arrows indicate a Junction point or Symbolic link. This utility will also guide you through troubleshooting; the dashboard will indicate whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload. What I like best is the way NPM suggests solutions to network problems. Its also has the ability to monitor the health of individual VMware virtual machines.
If you are interested in troubleshooting, and creating network maps, then I recommend that you try NPM now. The key to moving your personal files to another drive, is to find the Location Tab. The reason is that only special folders have a Location tab; ordinary folders only have 5 tabs. The key phrase is, change in location. The most important new subfolder is AppData. When you try to access it, it appears to contain the same data as the Users folder. Duplicated data? It has a dollar sign in it now?
What on earth is going on here? Is this supposed to be some archaic attempt at changing the folder structure and still maintaining backwards compatibility with XP? Join our community to see this answer!

At this point, subfolders stop being helpful and start causing workflow problems. The best folder structure is the one that mimics the way you work. Do you plan important tasks by quarter?
A new folder for each quarter's work might be good. Or do you work around projects? Consider new folders for each project. Browsing through your folders and finding files should be intuitive. For company projects, pick something that works well for everyone in the team, since everyone may not search for a file or folder in the same way you do. Here are some tips from digital asset management expert Edward Smith :. Create a template: Copy and paste it every time you start a new project or task.
Or, even better: save yourself from the hassle of manually re-creating your structure over and over again by setting up a Zap to do it for you. The first step to building an effective folder structure is figuring out your top-level folder. Do you want to simply make a new folder for every new project? Or perhaps you could organize by time, with folders and subfolders for each year and month? Maybe you work on a couple different types of projects, and could organize based on those types e.
Inside the "advertisements" folder, I have three tasks listed. For each task, I used the folder name to describe the due date mmyy , type of project pay per click or PPC, in this case , and which product the task is focused on.
These folder names act as both keyword tags and add an extra level of organization. If you search by product name or ad type, your folders should pop up easily. This is also a good place to keep native or source files. Final: Anything ready for public consumption. In this example, the final folder would only contain ads ready to be posted live. Put your notes, brainstorms, research, and other miscellaneous info in here.
Any false starts can be dropped in here too if you change direction mid-project. A false start, in this case, might be an ad concept you started working on but later got scrapped completely. This system also works well for teams working on a project where several people are working on the same deliverable. The person who writes and designs the ads, in this instance, likely won't also post the ads.
This strategy starts with the same top-level folders as the example above, but instead focuses on keeping all the versions of a file intact. For example, in the "blog posts" folder, I saved three different posts.
These posts are arranged by publish date mmyy and named by post topic, rather than by blog post title since titles often change. This structure works really well with files that will be going through many rounds of edits. I used this folder structure while working in publishing to keep track of all the rounds of editing, typesetting, and proofing that goes into a finished book.
I keep track of each draft of the blog post by saving it to either a "to review" or "from review" folder, meaning that the draft was last edited by me "to review" or by my editor "from review". This helps eliminate confusion around the draft number I edited the blog post three times, but my editor edited twice. Keep the file name the same, but add the initials of the editor onto the end.
Change the file name to include v2 on the end and remove the initials. This will become your second draft. Open the file, make your edits, and send your file back out for review.
Because the number of reviews and drafts your file goes through can vary, repeat this folder structure as many times as necessary. Looking back on your folders later, this will help quickly find the final version of the file.
